IND vs ENG: Sachin Tendulkar’s Savage Tweet After Bumrah’s No-Ball and Dropped Catches Break the Internet
Jasprit Bumrah claims gritty five-for at Headingley; Sachin Tendulkar jokes he deserved ‘nau wickets’ after missed chances
Jasprit Bumrah once again showed his class with the ball as he picked up a brilliant five-wicket haul in the first Test against England at Headingley. But his figures could have looked even better had the Indian fielders supported him fully.
Bumrah’s Hard-Earned Five-Wicket Haul
It wasn’t an easy day for Bumrah. On a pitch that had become slower, the pacer kept troubling the English batters with consistent line and length. He had Harry Brook dismissed late on Day 2, but the joy was short-lived as the delivery turned out to be a no-ball.
That wasn’t the only frustration. Bumrah also saw three catches dropped off his bowling. Despite these missed chances, the Indian pace ace continued to push hard and got rewarded with a five-wicket haul, his third in England.
Sachin Tendulkar’s Funny Take On Bumrah’s Spell
After England posted 465 in their first innings, legendary batter Sachin Tendulkar took to social media to appreciate Bumrah’s effort but with a humorous twist.
“Congratulations Bumrah! A no-ball and 3 missed chances stood between you and nau wickets,” Tendulkar posted on X (formerly Twitter).
Fans found the tweet relatable and amusing, especially after watching Bumrah constantly beat the bat and create opportunities throughout the innings.
Though Bumrah ended with five wickets, his effort had the impact of a much bigger performance. Without his spells, India could’ve easily fallen far behind in the match.
